Answer:. A.The Normans assumed control and changed the language spoken there.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, In 1066 the Normans conquered England in the battle of Hastings and it affected strongly the language. Without the invasion, English would have retained most of its inflections and preserving a predominantly Germanic vocabulary, the characteristic methods of word formation and incorporating words from other languages much less freely. It would have lacked the part of French words that today make English seem on the side of vocabulary more a Romance than a Germanic language.
